The Metadata Presets dialog.
Now when you select an image and click the Action pop-up menu in the Metadata Inspector, you
see your IPTC Contact Information preset under the Append with Preset and Replace with Preset
menus. Selecting IPTC Contact Information from the Append with Preset menu adds the preset's
information to whatever values you set for the image. Be careful — as if you manually typed a field
like your e-mail into the image's metadata — because choosing Append with Preset will leave you
with duplicate values in your image's metadata. Choosing Replace with Preset will clear out the
image's values for all the fields in the preset, replacing them with the values in the preset.
If you type values onto an image and want to use those values to set up a new preset, select the
image and choose New Preset from Version from the Action pop-up menu in the Metadata
Inspector. Aperture opens the Presets dialog with this new preset selected and ready for you to
rename.
A unique feature of the Presets dialog is that it's possible to export and import presets, making it
easy to share them between multiple computers. To export a preset, do the following:
1.
In the Metadata Presets dialog, select the preset in the list.
2.
Choose Export from the Action pop-up menu.
